Nik Software's Sharpener Pro 3.0 not only produces excellent results, it's also simple enough to use that anyone can do a terrific job with it.
The user experience with this product is very good. It's clear and simple to use, and with just a few minutes of practice you'll be getting the results you want. Too bad the rest of Photoshop isn't as easily mastered, but that's another topic altogether.
One area this produce excels is in what the vendor calls "selective sharpening". Using Nik's "U-Point" technology, it's easy to limit sharpening to certain areas of your images without the normal Photoshop mask and layer gyrations. You select based on various control points, then apply sharpening - simple as that, and you can do it in just a few seconds. Also, if you're using Photoshop (that is, not Lightroom or Aperture), you can also use standard Photoshop brushes to do selective sharpening. If you work with lots of images, just the productivity gain you get from this capability makes the software worthwhile.
If you do a lot of repetitive work, you can also use Sharpener Pro in batch mode, making it simple to process large numbers of images. This is also quite a time saver.
The vendor offers a free trial version of their software at their web site, so you can tell whether it's for you or not before making the investment - but of course, come back to Amazon for the purchase, since they seem to have better discounts available.
